I've had serious offers for mine between 5-6k and it's gettin a bit rusty. same 93 ext. 5spd duallie. just rolled 280,000 2 days ago.

as for a 200mile trip? c'mon! I put 200-300miles a week on mine

I drove mine from ohio-pa-alabama then back put on about 5-600 miles or so at a time (just over 3000 round trip) with no real problems. used maybe a qt or 2 of oil. and a lot of fuel.. got crappy towing mpg of about 12

but with current mods that should go up a bit

yea thats what i thought when i saw the price! 189000 miles pump turned up, air intake and 5in straight pipe so faily stock. plus the paints only starting to come off the bed and the hoods got a faded spot.

hood and roof fade out real bad..

I think about every seam in my bed is rattling apart... might be flatbed time

see if you can get him down around 5k

I love the look of it.. but the ride leaves a lot to be desired... just ask my GF how the roof feels on the top of your head when offroading

I wouldnt trade my dodge with a cummins in it for several reasons reliability no 1 and no 2 serviceability and with alittle bit of knowledge you can crank out more horse and torque for basicly your time & effort at least on a first gen

I think I max out around 90mph on stock size tires with the 5spd and 3.5 gears.

be prepared for a kidney busting ride tho as compared to your ford, it's very unforgiving!

What Do You Love About Your 1st Gen?

my truck tops at 117mph with285/75/16 5spd 3.5 rear

**Budgreen** · #27 11-23-2009, 09:18 AM

I *think* I can get mine to about 90 screamin like a banshee. thats with factory 235/86/16's and 3.5 gears with the 5spd, what's your cruising rpm with that tire size?
